After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

"Liu Ji!"

A sudden roar interrupted all Liu Ji's thoughts.

Qin Yao: "You didn't answer even though I called you twice, what are you thinking about?"

Liu Ji answered seriously: "I'm thinking about the riddle in the book."

"Are you leaving?" he asked knowingly.

Seeing Qin Yao's impatient wave, she immediately dropped the book in her hand, stood up, patted the robe she had changed into, and ran towards her happily.

Qin Yao gave him a steamed bun and put an end to Liu Ji's thoughts of going to the county town to order food. She raised her chin outside the hospital and said, "Let's go."

Liu Ji gnawed on the tasteless steamed buns and got into the carriage in despair.

Wang Mawu's luxurious carriage is spacious enough for a family of six to sit in it without feeling cramped.

Liu Ji got in and as soon as he sat down, Sanlang found a place in his arms and came in to catch up on his sleep.

Liu Ji gritted his teeth and poked at Lao San's innocent and worry-free face, feeling envious and jealous.

"You are so young and don't know what it's like to be sad~" He suddenly let out a sigh, then gnawed all the buns in his hand and closed his eyes to catch up on some sleep.

But when Jinbao was picked up, the carriage was like hundreds of ducks quacking at the same time, making Liu Ji so noisy that he could no longer wake up.

Listening to Jinbao and Erlang's little chatter, Liu Ji's heart skipped a beat. Since there was no way to stop it, let's join them!

Qin Yao caught the cotton earplugs handed over by Awang and glanced at him in surprise.

She just said, how did Awang keep from breaking down while transporting these five little kids to and from school every day? It turned out that he had some props!

I happily blocked my ears and closed my eyes. The world was finally quiet.

When we arrived at the county town, there was a little sunshine, and it had been cloudy with light rain for many days. Today it was finally sunny, which made Qin Yao firmly believe that today must be a lucky day.

The couple came to the county government office and successfully completed their household registration.

It was only noon, and Qin Yao decided to go to the farm to take a look at his fields.

Liu Ji was very excited. When he came to the farm, he saw the evil-repelling white flag stuck on the ground. He pulled it out and asked Awang to throw it away. It was a bad luck thing.

The other family's land had been plowed, and Liu Ji, who didn't care about farming, was a little anxious. After running through all the 100 acres of land, he asked Qin Yao breathlessly:

"Mother, madam, we have to rent out the land quickly, otherwise we will lose another crop of wheat."

Qin Yao also knew that this matter was important and planned to go to Mrs. Ding Xiucai again to transfer the tenants.

They were busy going through the paperwork yesterday and forgot about it.

So, he asked Awang to drive, and the couple came to Ding Xiucai's home together.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are already packing their belongings. It seems that they will leave Dingjiazhuang in the next few days to join Ding Xiucai in Fucheng.

The courtyard was filled with all kinds of furniture that needed to be taken away. Liu Ji tiptoed, barely keeping up with Qin Yao's nimble pace.

When they came to the hall, they were greeted by Ding Xiucai's mother. When she learned that Qin Yao was here to deal with the tenants, the old lady patted her knee and said, "I was so busy that I forgot to tell you that we used to keep that hundred acres of land. Those who farm their own land have no tenants.”

However, the old lady enthusiastically said that she could help build a bridge and help Qin Yao ask the Ding family members.

The land was so fertile that as long as Qin Yao wanted to rent it, there were many farmers asking her to rent it.

No, as soon as Qin Yao and his wife walked out of Ding Xiucai's house, a well-informed member of the Ding clan came over with shy smiles and asked Qin Yao how much the rent was.

"Same as on the market, 20% is land and 40% is field." Liu Ji said seriously with his hands behind his back.

The people of the Ding clan were overjoyed and asked cautiously: "Master Liu, can you rent all the twenty acres of land in the southeast corner to my family?"

Liu Ji glanced at Qin Yao first, and she nodded. Then she nodded to the visitor and continued to say seriously:

"My family's one hundred acres of land must be rented out. If you have other relatives who want to rent it, please ask them to go to Ding Xiucai's house and inform the old lady."

Just before going out, Qin Yao had already told the old lady that if anyone wanted to rent land, she would do it first, saving the tenants from having to walk a long way to Liujiacun to find her.

When the Ding clan members who came to rent the land heard what Liu Ji said, they clasped their fists in gratitude and turned around to inform their relatives.

Their family has little land, so they have to rent fields from larger families for farming all year round, but the land is not very good, and the rent is still 40%. After a year of hard work, they make no profit at all.

But the Qin Yao family's farmland is of good quality, and the rent is still 40%. Of course, for such a big bargain, they must first focus on their own family.

Liu Ji watched the tenant walk away happily, then looked back at his own farmland next to the official road, and sighed: "It's really a turn of events. I didn't expect that I, Liu Ji, would also become a landlord."

Haha, let’s see how Liu Dafu still sneered in front of him!

Qin Yao glanced at him and saw his worthless smile, so she simply arranged a job for him.

"Liu Ji, I'll give you a chance to show off. You can take care of the land rental. It's done."

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Ji immediately asked excitedly: "How about it done? Is there a reward for it?"

Qin Yao sneered, "Is there any silver reward? Once it's done, I'll leave the rent collection to you next year."

Liu Ji immediately let out a low "嘁" and muttered in a low voice, "It's just hard work for nothing again."

Qin Yao: "Since you don't want to, then forget it."

"No, no, no, no!" Liu Ji immediately changed his tune and said with a sneer: "I am willing, madam, don't worry, I will leave all the rent for our house in your hands."

After all, there are still some benefits to be gained. Even though they are mosquito legs, they are still meat.

Qin Yao sneered, but did not take it back. The couple went to the field to look at it for a while.

Liu Ji could not help but grab a handful of dirt here and touch the mud there, with tears in his eyes.

There is no other reason, just because he loves this land deeply!

As for the murder that occurred in this area, the couple didn't take it seriously at all.

Qin Yao came to the two small rooms. The key was given to her by Lady Ding Xiucai. She opened the door lock and saw two spacious rooms.

A room with benches and wooden planks was used as the place where Ding Xiucai's parents lived.

The bedding and other utensils in the house have been taken away, and now it is an empty room. The windows are small and the light is dim.

The other room is a room where farm tools are kept. There are also two wooden barrels and a few old rattan baskets in the room, which are probably no longer needed.

Farmers like to rent fields from big families because they can use the farm tools and livestock provided by big families. In order to make their land more cost-effective, Qin Yao told Liu Ji, who was wandering around the empty house:

“Remember to buy some farm tools so farmers can borrow them.”

Liu Ji hurriedly agreed, then pointed to the vacant Tongbu room and asked tentatively: "Madam, how about we clean up this room and rent it out?"

Seeing that Qin Yao had no objection, Liu Jili pulled her into the house, pointed at the shops excitedly and said:

"Our place is a quarter of an hour's walk from the town's streets, and only two-quarters of an hour's walk from the Ding Family School. It is very suitable for renting to students who come to study."

"Madam, you see, these beds are all ready-made. Little babies don't need much space. They just need a place to lie down and sleep. Let's divide this bunk into small compartments with straw mats. It can accommodate a dozen students. The rent It’s cheaper, the mountain road is too far, and people whose families are too poor to rent a decent house will definitely like it!”

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, she actually thought it was pretty good.

Liu Ji's eyes were filled with eagerness, "Madam, let's give it a try?"

Qin Yao thought for a moment and nodded lightly, "Then give it a try."

Liu Ji put his hands on his hips and said, "Okay!"

The suggestion he made was successfully adopted for the first time, and Liu Ji suddenly felt elated.

Just one word, cool! (End of chapter)
